Factfile #3 – Manchester City FC

“There are some things money can’t buy. For everything else, there’s more money”

– Carlton Palmer on a roll

“I think Adebayor’s girlfriend is way too hot for him”

Ladies and Gentlemen, we at BigFourZa never believe in too long a gap between our factfiles. In fact, the First Factfile we did has convinced Bridge that it’s not worth staying in the same hotel as Terry. The Second Factfile we did was picked up by one of our jounalist friends in Ukraine, who then proceeded to quiz Rafa about his girth, considering there was not much else to talk about a Liverpool team without Torres. Hopefully, this one leaves a crater in Manchester the size of the City of Manchester stadium.

So Chelsea against Shitty this weekend. I wonder which shade of blue Vanessa turns out in. And whether Bridge and Terry will shake! Ooh.
